Viola, Heidi

I began my journey with TPSS in 2009 as a substitute. Afterwards, I went to Hammond Westside and loved every minute of 3rd grade hall. However, Amite High Magnet School has been my home since 2012.

I enjoy working alongside Certified Special Education personnel to ensure our students achieve academically, socially and personally. This includes assisting in their specific curriculum, making sure to meet the student's criteria for his / her Individual Education Plan (IEP), assisting and coaching with the life skills needed to be productive socially and personally, such as hygiene, social behavior and communication skills.

I have volunteered in every area that there was a need on campus. This includes band, cheer (coaching), football boosters, dances, teacher appreciation, campus bulletin boards, as well as classroom decor and management. The areas I have enjoyed most are office secretary, my current position, going to prom with my class and school photography. My biggest accomplishment is for every child to know they are loved during their time here at AHMS.
